Things move a little slower on the South Shore, for your enjoyment of course. Patios will include the freshest seafood and the crisp ocean air. Your picnic basket will include beautiful breads for those of every dietary desire.

South Shore Patio:

Dine in Style

Rime Restaurant, located on King St. in Lunenburg, is named for the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem, Rime of the Ancient Mariner – paying tribute to the nautical and cultural nature of this World UNESCO Heritage town. The region’s finest local oysters, fresh mussels, artisanal cheeses, prime meats and fresh seasonal produce are presented in innovative takes on traditional classics

Seafood by the Seashore

When on the South Shore you’d be hard pressed to find a patio without a seafood menu worthy of mention. The Grand Banker Bar & Grill, The Old Fish Factory & The Galley Restaurant & Lounge all fit the bill accordingly. Pair with a glass of Tidal Bay or two.
